Cool Cab is a closed-loop system air is drawn from the cab, cooled down, then forced
back into the cab. The mechanical thermostat is mounted into the return air flex duct for
secure setting and accurate temperature setting and has an optional automatic changeover from heat to cool. The fan can be set to operate continuously for improved air
circulation and filtration. The compressor is mounted on shock-absorbing rubber for
added durability and noise reduction.

Market/Competitor Analysis
The market size is unlimited. Many customers are currently looking for air conditioning
units for their elevators. The advantage Otis has is we service the elevators in many
instances, and therefore, access to the car top and hoistway is relatively easy.
There are a few other air conditioning units on the market. However, Cool Cab is one of
the most compact, has an economical price and is the only one specifically designed for
elevators.
